The Night Guest

This book had me just hooked then it feel apart. It felt like the last part of the story was rushed and not finished. I feel cheated haha.

It was a real shame because there was this brilliant undertone with the sleep disturbances and the build up was so delicious I was hanging on for dear life then it fizzled out!

TW there is some animal abuse so be warned but

I could go for a follow up novella though..

In my defense (and I think it needs to be duly acknowledged), I've read until the very end, even after the freaking revelation about the cats. And I have cats. I love cats. I absolutely hated what was there. But I kept going, because people had raved on about the book.
Honestly? shouldn't have bothered. The cats were just a preview of how bad it could become for no reason at all. Psychotic or not, the character is uninteresting, weak and weird, and not worth my time.
I almost feel the cats were put there to add a layer of depth to her and make us question if there was more.
There wasn't.

This was.... Not what I was expecting based on the synopsis. 
And this was.... Decidedly not  for me. 

My best friend recommended this book to me. I love a fast and concise horror story because it reminds me of poetry. Using few words but conjuring up huge feelings like anticipation, disgust and fear. If you're in a reading slump, this helped revive me. Cats, chronic pain, and feminism.
